Understanding Sections Categories and Content

Now that you can log into Joomla! you must first understand how Joomla! organizes content.  Joomla! forces the user into a hierarchy.  In a Joomla! site the highest unit of organization is the 'Section' inside these go 'Categories' and in those go the actual content 'items'.  This is illustrated on the left.

Good organization and planing is crucial to a good site.  It is best to sit down  and sketch out on paper first what you will have on your site.  In the future, when you start adding menu items, good organization is even more important.
